Golden Mole Quotes

“They are not alone in this. The human being, too, is a shining thing. We are infinitesimally bioluminescent - chemical reactions within the human body cast up photons, the elementary particle of light. The light emitted is a thousand times weaker than human eyesight, but it is constant, and clustered around the face. Like the golden mole, we too have a radiance invisible to ourselves.”
― Katherine Rundell, Vanishing Treasures: A Bestiary of Extraordinary Endangered Creatures
